3Operating Instructions

3 Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in
products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we
recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too
much.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

• Do not place aluminium foil over the floor of the oven and do not place baking trays,
pans etc. on the floor as the resulting build-up of heat can damage the oven enamel.

• Fruit juices which drip from baking trays leave stains which cannot be removed. Use a
deep tray for very moist cakes.

• Do not place loads on the open oven carriage door.

• Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage and

discoloration to the enamel.

• Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can cause the glass to
break.

• Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the
oven is switched on.

Description of the Appliance4

• Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. This could cause damage to the enamel.

• After switching off the cooling fan, do not keep uncovered dishes in the oven. Mois-

ture may condense in the oven interior or on the glass doors and may get into the
units.

3 Note on enamel coating

Changes in the colour of the oven’s enamel coating as a result of use do not affect the
appliance’s suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do not constitute a de­fect in the sense of the warranty law.

Uses, Tables and Tips

Baking

Oven function: True fan or Conventional
Baking tins

• For Conventional , dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable.

• For True fan bright metal tins are also suitable.

Oven levels

• Baking with Conventional is possible on one oven level.

• With True fan you can bake on up to 3 baking trays at the same time:

1 baking tray:
e.g. oven level 3

Uses, Tables and Tips22

1 cake tin:
e.g. oven level 1

2 baking trays:
e.g. oven level 1 and 3

3 baking trays:
Oven levels 1, 3 and 5

General instructions

• Only use the baking tray and drip pan with the rack frame for the oven carriage.

• With Conventional or True fan you can also bake in two cake tins next to one

another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase the
baking time.

3 When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This is due to

the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature and the tempera­ture in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the distortion will disappear again.

23Uses, Tables and Tips

Notes on the baking charts

The following charts give the required temperature settings, cooking times and oven lev­els for a selection of dishes.

• Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the
consistency of the mixture, the quantity and the type of baking tin.

• For the first time, we recommend you apply the lower temperature setting and only
choose a higher temperature if necessary, e.g. if you want a browner effect or if cook­ing time is taking too long.

• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe of your own, look for the one
that is most similar.

• When baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one level, baking time can
be extended by 10-15 minutes.

• Moist products (pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.

• Differences in the height of the items can cause differences in the degree of browning

at the beginning of the baking process. You should not change the temperature
setting if this occurs. Different rates of browning even out as baking progresses.

• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to your previous appliance. If this is the
case, adjust your normal settings (temperature, cooking times) and oven levels to the
recommendations in the following charts.

2 With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before the end

of the baking time, in order to utilise the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that cooking is started
with the oven cold.

Uses, Tables and Tips28

Roasting

Oven function: Conventional or Rotitherm
Roasting cookware

• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to use for roasting (please follow the manu­facturer's instructions).

• You can use the grill set for roasting

• For all lean meats, we recommend roasting these in a roasting tin or dish with a

lid. The meat will be more succulent.

• All types of meat that can be browned or have crackling, can be roasted in a roasting
tin without the lid.

3 Notes on the roasting chart

The information given in the following chart is for guidance only.

• We recommend using the oven to roast meat and fish only in quantities above 1kg.

• To prevent escaping meat juices or fat from burning on to the pan, we recommend

placing some liquid in the roasting cookware.

• If required, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).

• Baste large roasts and poultry with basting stock a number of times during the cook-

ing time. This will give you a better result.

• You can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before the end of the roasting time, in
order to utilise the residual heat.

Drying

31Uses, Tables and Tips

Oven function: True fan

• Use oven shelves covered with greaseproof paper or baking parchment.

• You get a better result if you switch the oven off halfway through the drying time,

open the door and leave the oven to cool down overnight.

• After this, finish drying the food to be dried.

Making preserves

Oven function: Base heat

• For preserving, use only commercially available preserve jars of the same size.

• Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not suitable.

• When making preserves, the first shelf position from the bottom is the one most

used.

• Use the shelf for making preserves. There is enough room on this for up to six 1-litre
preserving jars.

• The jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped shut.

• Place the jars on the baking tray in such a way that they are not touching each other.

• Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into the baking tray so that sufficient moisture is pro-

duced in the oven.

• As soon as the liquid starts to pearl in the first jars (after about 35-60 minutes with
1 litre jars), switch the oven off or reduce the temperature to 100°C (see table).
